 Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:59 am Post subject: Anywhere to buy a power adapter for a dell laptop? |
 |
|
| The adapter plug on my Dell xps m1210 laptop has started to tear out and now it will not power the computer. Does anyone know where I could find an adapter, any that will work, to replace it? Does some place sell Dell computer parts? Would you recommend Yongsan or Gmart? I have a friend coming in about three weeks so I could just have him bring a new cord for me, but I would like to get my computer going before then. Does anyone have any recommendations or maybe even somewhere that I can get my cord fixed. I know that it could be as simple as taping it back together, but so far I have not been able to get it to work and I do not want to fry my computer. Any help is much appreciated! |

| I have an HP, probably uses a standardized cord. They have a support center in Korea, the phone number is 82-1588-3003. May be worth a phone call..... |

Dell has a walk in service centre on the 7th floor of the technomart in Shindorim. Go to Shindorim Station and follow signs to Emart... go to the mall and I am pretty sure it's the 7th floor.
They should be able to help you. They helped me a great deal! |

| You can go to computer places and just bring the part of your power cord that plugs into the wall, not the part of the cord with the box. I brought mine to technomart, went to the first booth, showed her the cord. Told her I needed a Korean one, and she went and got it for me. I think it was 10k? Maybe less, I bought a new mouse too. Fit perfectly into the other half of my power cord. |

I didn't just need a plug, my adapter cord ripped, the part that plugs into the computer. I ended up going to Technomart's Dell center. It cost $50, which is less than back home, but I probably could have still got it for less if I had done some research.
Thanks everyone for your replies! |

Actually, Dell is not widely available in Korea. Parts are not available from your normal, run of the mill computer shops. When I needed work done on my mini book, my normal tech guy told me to go to their centre because they couldn't carry out the work as they had no parts. |
